I thought this was a phone number at first. “Where is 938 area code and what the heck..,” was all I could think for about 2 minutes.

There really are good people out there doing so much good for others but when given no other option people will take care of their own.

I agree and I learned it when I was 17. It really helped me deal with my in laws later

Don’t quote your parents or talk about them in general
Be likeable
Confidence is the most important thing

People will ask you what you think , but they don't really want to know.

Don't discuss politics or religion with anyone outside your inner circle.

Do you mean telling a teen to be discreet about repeating family conversations?

I am am having my family adopt this as our family motto. It's perfect, and really does cover everything.

Really? It sounds very selfish to me. Not being an a$$hole is very different than actually being nice and helpful.

This is true, but I’ve also found where you live sets expectations too—when I visit FL there are sometimes no corrals and coincidence? Everyone thinks it’s ok to leave them wherever.
Where I live it’s not only done, the corrals are all over the place. Maybe it’s a metaphor for how civilized the place is hmm

Don't advocate for DEI initiatives that would reverse advantages to your class. Your peers will loathe you.

Never speak with anything but the highest adoration for any peer's dog that you meet. Blame allergies if you don't want to have a dog.

Understand that some men (and even women) have earned the right to hook up with at least some people regardless of laws, policies or customs that would otherwise preclude the hookup. It's a perk they've earned for the value that they generate and can distribute.

Parents' wishes are respected based on the power they can bring to dealings with the school. You pick the surgeon's kid to be the lead in the class play, not the migrant worker's kid.

Look the part. If you want to get a certain job, you want to look like you were picked out of Central Casting for that job.

Give charitable donations according to what benefits you. Instead of spreading out a thousand bucks each to twenty different organizations, give $20k to one who will acknowledge you by name. Arts and cultural organizations are better for that than "feed" and "house" nonprofits.
